Attributed to Alvin K. Isaacs Sr, this mele with eight verses is a Kauaʻi family song. Kōʻula (red sugar cane) is the old name of a valley and stream in Hanapēpē. Manawaiopuna (stream branch of Puna), the 200 foot waterfall at the lower end of Kōʻula is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Hawaiʻi. Unfortunately, it is almost inaccessible.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
How beautiful is the rain of Kōʻula
The misty rain, little drops
Way up high is the beautiful rainbow
Proudly behold its beauty over the trees
Famous this spring Manawaiopuna
The source of the water, flowing freely
I see this beautiful waterfall
The tumbling waterfall, gliding, sliding down the pali
Picture clouds gather and rise tall
At the beginning of day, at first light
My song comes to an end, never to forget
Famous is the beauty of Manawaiopuna, source of the stream

My husband and I will be visiting the island of Kauai on August 27th and cannot wait. I'm trying to learn a few dances and hoping to reflect more grace while attempting to HULA. It would be nice if you could demonstrate the hand movements a little more to achieve the gracefulness and flow of the hand movements.

Now that I live in Hawaii, I am even more eager to learn. I started taking a local beginning hula class last week. After my first class I went on KZfaq to learn the intricacies of the hula hand movements and the footwork. Your basics videos are wonderful. Today after my 3rd hula class, I found this video of yours. I'm enjoying learning the hula to this song. The way you have broken down the steps makes it so easy to learn. Mahalo nui!

I just discovered your channel as I have a good friend who's a retired Kumu Hula. I had a little lu'au for my sister, who was visiting from out of town, and my Kumu friend drove 4 hours to come. She sent me your KZfaq of Puamana to learn so her and I could dance it. I haven't done hula in some years and she is so busy she rarely has the time but we managed to pull it off and everyone LOVED it! I realized how much I've missed it so I'm happily going to learn any hula you post as I really enjoy you. Mahalo for teaching hula this way! :-D

Aloha e Teresa P! Mahalo for sharing this with me - it bring me joy to hear how two friends were able to learn the same hula separately by my videos and came together to give it as a gift to your sister. That is truly a special gift! I'm honored to have your former Kumu Hula dance to my version of "Puamana." Where did she have her halau before? Thank you for wanting to learn anything I post. I'm grateful!

@@iHulaHawaii Her halau was in Phoenix, AZ and she was also very involved in the Arizona Aloha Festival every year (she got involved in all that is Hawaiian when she lived in Honolulu in the 80s and 90s). She has little time for any hula now but also found she misses it and so we're BOTH going to continue to learn hula from you! We're loving it! :-D

Yes, you could do either "You Are My Strength" (use the Barret & Tara Awai version) to bring hope to those at the service, or "E Ku‘u Sweet Lei Po‘ina ‘Oe" to describe her as a beautiful never fading bloom. My choice would be to use Raiatea Helm's version. Let me know what you decide. Do you have ties to her that you'd get to share this hula at her memorial in Colorado?
